The GPF’s handling of the Adrianna drowning is really testing your Eyewitness’s patience. With the Government getting the flak for any and all of their shortcomings – and not only by the opposition – you’d think elements within police ranks are going out of their way to deep six the PPP! Let’s not even go back to that initial FALSE report that Adrianna was spirited away from the hotel in a Raum – leading to the arrest of the driver!! The police soon recanted, but permanently damaged the public’s confidence in their CAPACITY to be impartial.
We just gotta consider how they’ve dealt with conveying information to the public – not to mention the family – in this case that’s grabbed worldwide attention. With all the drama around getting a pathologist to conduct the autopsy – and the Government going out of their way to bring in THREE foreign pathologists, shouldn’t they’ve gotten SOME kudos for going way beyond Standard Operating Procedures?? But Noooo!!
Why?? Those in charge of communicating the preliminary results of the autopsy to John Public – and the family, who should’ve taken precedence – just plain stonewalled everybody!!! ‘No comment’ was the response!! As late as EIGHT DAYS LATER, the family’s two new attorneys were told by the top COP himself that no info was available!! Was he stonewalled? This stonewalling led to renewed anger.
Then, LO AND BEHOLD – at the stroke of MIDNIGHT – the quite comprehensive preliminary autopsy report below, which answered most of the questions on folks’ minds, was issued!!
“There was no evidence of sexual assault (her external genitalia were examined and found unremarkable with her hymen intact); Her soft tissues as well as skeletal structure were free of traumatic injury; There was a residual cone of foam identified within her nostrils and oral cavity, which is often observed in cases of drowning (this finding dispels any contention that there was cotton wool in her nose); The skin changes observed were from prolonged immersion with ‘washerwoman’ changes noted on bilateral hands and soles (washerwoman changes are also consistent in cases of drowning)
“The skin was found to be intact and free from antemortem injuries; (Meaning that she did not receive any injuries to her body prior to her death); The sphenoid sinus was found to have approximately 1ml of liquid (this is the air space located in the brain consistent with drowning) Liquid also found in the lungs of the deceased, which is consistent with drowning.
Additionally, as stated above, a comprehensive toxicological study of the blood and gastric contents is being conducted by the National Medical Services (NMS) Laboratories in the US. Also, tissue specimens are undergoing histological analysis by Mount Sinai’s board-certified forensic and diagnostic pathologists in the US.”
What gives??
…cleave to US
As should be clear by now to all you dear readers, your Eyewitness is unapologetically in favour of us being in the US camp in this developing new Cold War between China and them. Why?? Well, if for nothing else, with us being a minnow and the US still the largest economy, with now a very jingoistic president, we don’t want to repeat Cheddi’s 1960s gamble, do we??
But in addition to that geopolitical realism, there’s the fact that the greatest threat to our survival as a nation state is Venezuela under Mad Maduro – and the US is that madman’s greatest enemy!! The enemy of our enemy is our friend, innit?? But we really have no choice, since China already has the highest “all weather relationship” with Venezuela – and Russia has just tightened theirs to match – going way beyond their arming them to the teeth with billions and billions of dollars’ worth of advanced weaponry!!
Our choice has already been made!! Let’s not equivocate!!
…new Pontif
Well, the white smoke finally issued from the Vatican chimney – signalling that a new Pope has been elected. He’s American-born Leo XIV, originally from Chicago. So, is he gonna outrank Trump, since his constituency’s 1.4 billion?
